Im having a real ball ache of a problem with Crysis crashing every now and again and its getting more and more frequent:mad:

I need to find out whats causing it as its driving me mad, so guys where do I start?

My specs are as follows:
2160 running at 3.4Ghz
EVGA 8800 GTS
4 Gb Geil PC2-6400C4 800MHz
Windows XP
Latest Nvidia (crysis) beta drivers

When I first installed the game it didunt crash for hours now its doing it every ten minutes.

Any help greatly appreciated.:)
 
1) Is your over clock stable?
2) Is the voltage correct for you ram?
3) What psu do you have?
4) Whats event viewer say?
5) Whats the temps like on the CPU & gfx card?
 
1) Is your over clock stable? I believe so its been ok for weeks although I will run Orthos tonight to make sure.
2) Is the voltage correct for you ram? Voltage is set to auto.
3) What psu do you have? Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
4) Whats event viewer say? I dont know how to use it?
5) Whats the temps like on the CPU & gfx card? good, pretty low.

I take it the ram is the Ultra Low Latency as the value stuff runs at C5. The memory needs setting to manual and change to 2.1V, to do this you need to change it in bios to +.3 as its default is 1.8 (1.8 + .3 = 2.1V).

Psu's fine.

What do you call low temps for the card and have you checked while its on load, ie running rivatuner, play a game for 10 mins and come out of the game checking the highest point in the graph?

Changed RAM voltage to 2.1v started playong got about half an hour through and it crashed, I had rivatuner running recording temps but can anyone tell me how to go back and review the data?

cheers

try removing 2 sticks of ram. It's pointless having 4 gigs on xp as it only shows 3gigs. Also load optimized defaults in bios, clear the cmos and set mem timings to auto, reset cpu clock to default.
 
For the temp monitor in rivatuner go to your temps to see what they are idle and leave the graph open, then when you come out of the game just scroll back on the graph to find your peak point (highest temps).

I'm betting it's ever an unstable overclock or your gfx card temps thats the problem.

I can't describe where the temp section is located exactly as my card doesn't support temp monitoring.

Off the top of my head you need to click the hardware monitoring tab and and then click auto detect (not reboot) and there's a section in there with your core / memory speeds etc.... well at the bottom of the graph will be your temps.

You're saying "pretty low" but can you give me figures please to try and help you?

As said leave it open and play a game.

RobRX-7 suggested removing two stick of ram, it's a pain and i would rule out the obvious before removing hardware first.

1)GFX card temps?
2)Overclock stable?

Have you actually run a stress test on the cpu?
Also what vcore are you putting through the cpu?
Whats the cpu load temp?
